چکیده
Background in Spain the skills of professionals of Emergency departament (ED) in the process of echocardiography have been discussed for decades. The current scientific evidence supports the use of echocardiography by the Emergency physicians (EP) in a resounding manner, due to its speed, agility and safety for the patient, by providing an early diagnosis of serious or potentially serious diseases. On the other hand, the use of ultrasound extends to almost all specialities (cardiologists, urologists, gynecologists, gastroenterologists...) in such a way that it already speaks of “Ultrasound as the stethoscope for the future”. ED doctors cannot be left behind.

متن کاملPocket ultrasound devices for focused echocardiography
Pocket ultrasound devices have recently been developed and may be particularly useful for emergency assessment. These devices can be stored in a pocket but share only some technical features with conventional echocardiographic machines. Two-dimensional imaging and color flow mode are available, with possible adjustments of global gain and depth, but Doppler features are lacking. These devices a...
